Feng Heng spoke earnestly to the Second Prince.
After being captured and taken to Tongzhou, Feng Heng met the Fourth Prince in the dungeon and realized that if the country really fell into the hands of such a despicable person, the people would probably live in misery.
He thought that rather than sitting idly by, he should support the Second Prince, which would be a good deed for the people.
The next morning, the Second Prince's wife began having her servants pack her luggage, preparing to leave Liaocheng.
"Princess, something terrible has happened! Grandma Liu is probably not going to make it."
Li Youran was studying the art of disguise with Tang Lei when Xiao Hong rushed in in a panic.
"Dr. Feng went to see me early this morning and said that I didn't have long to live. Just now I suddenly woke up and I feel very energetic."
Xiao Hong continued speaking to Li Youran while panting heavily.
"Grandma Liu said she wanted to see the princess, as she had something important to tell her."
Li Youran frowned slightly, put down what she was holding, and left with Xiao Hong. Tang Lei followed closely behind.
"This old woman greets the princess."
As Grandma Liu spoke, she got out of bed to massage Li Youran.
Since returning home yesterday, Grandma Liu has learned that Li Youran and his entourage are of very high status.
"Grandma Liu, there's no need for such formalities. Please lie down."
Li Youran hurriedly stepped forward, helped Grandma Liu up, and then helped her lean against the bedside. She looked at Grandma Liu with concern and said...
"Grandma Liu, the pandemic will soon be over, and we will have no worries about food and clothing. Good days are coming."
Li Youran's words were undoubtedly intended to comfort Grandma Liu and give her hope for life. Perhaps they would cheer her up and alleviate her symptoms.
However, Li Youran did not know that Grandma Liu was nearing her end, and her current lucidity was merely a final burst of energy before death.
"Princess, I'm afraid my days are numbered," Grandma Liu said, tears streaming down her face, as she continued speaking to Li Youran.
"But I really can't rest easy knowing that I have such a grandson left in this world."
As Grandma Liu spoke, she glanced at Shunzi, who was standing to the side.
Shunzi stood to the side, looking down at his toes. No one could see the expression on his face, but tears were dripping onto the ground and onto his feet.
"I have a favor to ask, Your Highness. Please help me keep the child by my side, find him a job, and give him a way to make a living."
As Grandma Liu spoke, she addressed Shunzi.
"Shunzi, quickly kneel down before the princess."
"grandmother……"
Shunzi looked up at Grandma Liu. Thinking that her grandmother's time was coming to an end, Shunzi's tears flowed even more, like beads falling from a broken string.
He called out to Grandma Liu with a sob in his voice, then knelt on the ground.
"Grandma Liu, don't worry, Shunzi will stay with me from now on. As long as I have food to eat, he will definitely not go hungry."
As Li Youran spoke, she instructed Xiao Hong to pull Shunzi up.
Upon hearing Li Youran's agreement to let Shunzi stay, Grandma Liu finally smiled, and then closed her eyes as she smiled.
Grandma Liu passed away peacefully.
"I didn't expect to leave here so soon. I'm really going to miss it."
Li Youran sat in the carriage and said with a sigh.
When the pandemic first struck, Li Youran came here with the idea of risking her life, but she didn't expect the pandemic to be quelled so quickly.
As she left, Li Youran felt a little reluctant.
"Princess."
Just then, Master Lu arrived in a horse-drawn carriage, bringing with him the distillery's workers.
“Princess, we’ve thought it through. Rather than staying here, we should go with the group leader.”
As Master Lu spoke, he knelt down and bowed respectfully to Li Youran. The other masters behind him also hurriedly knelt down and bowed to Li Youran.
Master Lu finally understood that the Lu family's winery was only staying in Liaocheng to brew wine for casual snacks.
If one follows Li Youran, one can maximize the uses of alcohol. Alcohol is not only for entertainment, but also for healing and saving lives, and even for serving the country.
"Master Lu, please rise quickly."
Upon seeing this, Li Youran hurriedly jumped off the carriage and helped Master Lu up.
"Everyone, please rise. Since you have made up your minds to come to the capital with me, I swear here today that I will never betray your trust."
Li Youran addressed the crowd with great enthusiasm and passion.
You have to understand, in this era where inheritance is more important than anything else, it took a lot of determination for Master Lu to decide to follow Li Youran to the end.
This feeling of being trusted and supported gave Li Youran a renewed sense of responsibility.
When Li Youran and his group left, people lined both sides of the street, carrying eggs, hens, and even large pumpkins.
The plague had just passed, and everyone was short of money, but they all brought out what they could from their homes, which deeply moved Li Youran.
Originally, there were guards standing by, preventing the people from getting close, but Li Youran dismissed the guards and had Xiao Hong accept the items.
“Miss, these things are heavy and take up space.”
Xiao Hong looked at the carriage, which was packed full, and that she had been given an old hen in her arms. She said with a wronged expression.
"These things may not be valuable, but they represent everyone's good intentions and are quite meaningful to me."
Li Youran said with a smile, while finding a basket, putting the old hen into the basket, and then covering it tightly with the basket.
"Don't worry, it won't run over."
